Not sure if this is the right place to make an, "I'm new!" post, but I'm doing it here, so screw it.I'm Zach, the forum's new atheist asshole. I love metal, stand-up comedy, science and video games. Not much else to tell, unless someone wants to know more about the new dude.

Cool to see you've got a sig already, I'd encourage you to add an avatar as well!

"Suddenly Frodo noticed that a strange-looking weather-beaten man, sitting in the shadows near the wall, was also listening intently to the hobbit-talk. He had a tall tankard in front of him, and was smoking a long-stemmed pipe curiously carved. His legs were stretched out before him, showing high boots of supple leather that fitted him well, but had seen much wear and were now caked with mud. A travel-stained cloak of heavy dark-green cloth was drawn close about him, and in spite of the heat of the room he wore a hood that overshadowed his face; but the gleam of his eyes could be seen as he watched the hobbits."

Well... This is someone's welcome thread, not a thread on the debate of the existence of God. So let's please keep it to that and not derail the thread. Want to argue about the existence of god? Either make a thread about it or go to DA.

Not willing to debate you on this. I think religion is fucking stupid, and that's that.

Well that escalated quickly.

Come to think of it, since no one said, you're not the only one I know who's atheist around here. Interesting.

"As she raised a glass of water, everyone exptected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired, "How heavy is this glass of water?" The answers called out ranged from 8oz. to 20 oz. She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "The stress and worries in life are like that glass of water. think about them for awhile and nothing happens. Think about them for a big longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed - incapable of doing anything. Always remember to put the glass down."~ AnonymousPrevious Quote

No one here cares that much about it. We run the policy of don't ask don't tell. However, should the question come up, try to be civil about it and understanding of others religious views and the same shall be done for you.
